Share your thoughts and activism on this day of action. Did you call in to work or school as 'gay' or 'gay friendly'? Are you boycotting products, or doing something in the realm of queer activism in your own special way? Let us know!

Oh man, not buying anything is a great idea. I wish I'd thought of that before I bought that dry ass philly cheesesteak *bleh*

For me calling in gay would mean that I'd miss my last two exams and probably...not do so well in both those classes. It's great that your teacher called in gay as well! This would be a great time to visit our campus GLBT group that I've only been attempting to go to for months *note to damn self*

What's funny is historically gays embrace communism and fascist governments, they think they will gain some benefit, as opposed to religious based systems (i.e. God given constitutional rights). But these communistic and fascist governments always eventually turn on their one-time supporters.

I'm unemployed, but I didn't run the errands and spend the money I had planned to today.

I'm a little surprised at all the hostility I see online about "Day without a Gay," like we are threatening capitalism, or something. Or trying to punish straight people by not showing up to work. I guess the people making those comments have some form of homophobia, instead of just knowing it's not their thing, or even just telling us how to live or who to marry; they actually feel hostility towards us. The Religious Right is bad enough; fag bashers are worse.

Well, my Day Without a Gay (besides myself!)was spent at home, not spending any money and writing letters to President-elect Obama requesting he address our rights in his inaguration speech and to the NY Times commenting on the "Gay Mob" advertisement recently run by the Religious Right. You can read my letters on My MySpace Blog. I plan to keep up my QUEER VISIBILITY every day!
